Here is my GNH rooster..he is a jerk.

But so handsome.

Hmmm.. So why is it all the good looking ones are jerks?

Quote: That is NOT a purebred New Hampshire. Beak is black and should be "reddish horn". Legs should be yellow. Type is also way off....see how "upright" his carriage is and the slope of his back? Go back over to the CSU thread and look at the backs and tailsets of the cockerels there.
I think he is mixed.

Thanks Mary! He did just finish crowing when I took the picture so he is more upright than normal. I wasn't planning on using him for breeding or even keeping. But I did want to know what breed he was supposed to be (since the eggs were sold to me as pure). Could be pure hatchery quality

Don't worry........you'll have a good looking one soon enough!

What is porcelain?

The first one is the porcelain roo. The other two are the self blue hens that the eggs could have came from. I'm still not sure which one is laying them. My porcelain hen isn't laying.

You have the most beautiful birds, Marie!

I got my eggs from Marie today. Thank you Marie! They were wrapped perfectly as always.

YUP he does not look like mine at all.

I think yours may be a cross. Here is a link to mine. It was taken months ago and I should not have used the flash. They are so much fuller(hmmmm I think huge is a better word) now, if that's possible. Let me know if you want some eggs.
